During 2016-2017 Professor Andrew Campbell took leave from Dartmouth and joined Google and Verily (Google's life science startup) as a visiting research scientist working in the Android group in Mountain View on new wearables and at Verily in South San Francisco on mental health sensing. Now back at Dartmouth he is busy working on 3 new awards from NIH and IARPA with students in the DartNet lab.

The new projects include a collaboration between Dartmouth CS and the Tuck business school funded by IARPA to study collaboration in the workplace using mobile phones, wearables and specialized IOT devices. Another project funded by NIH between Dartmouth CS and UW is investigating auditory verbal hallucination using mobile phones. Finally, we are following 100 undergrads across their 4 years at Dartmouth College as part of another NIH funded project with PBS to study the stress and strain of undergraduate students.

A common thread running through these new projects is the use of the StudentLife mobile sensing technology first developed by Campbell's group at Dartmouth in 2013. StudentLife has been used at a number of colleges in the US and Europe for research in student health.

Dartmouth's capacity to advance its dual mission of education and research depends upon the full diversity and inclusivity of this community. We must increase diversity, particularly among our faculty and staff. As we do so, we must also create a community in which every individual, regardless of gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, socio-economic status, disability, nationality, political or religious views, or position within the institution, is respected. On this close-knit and intimate campus, we must ensure that every person knows that he, she, or they is a valued member of our community.
